This major redevelopment and refurbishment project for Legal & General of an existing building on the Lotus Park business park in Staines provides 70,000 sq ft of commercial office space. The redevelopment created an additional 25,000 sq ft of additional lettable space by constructing a new top floor on the existing structure and also incorporates a new triple height glazed atrium reception overlooking landscaped gardens and the River Thames.
The project is an excellent example of how an existing commercial office building has been remodelled to meet the current and future demands of potential tenants and our design also incorporates a number of sustainable and energy saving features. These include passive solar gain reduction measures using external shading features, a high efficiency VRF heating and cooling system which utilises waste heat to generate domestic hot water for the building and a 100 sq m array of roof mounted photovoltaic panels capable of generating 10,000 kWh of power.
